    A more than warm welcome, and also help with parking in heavy snowfall by the owner so the camper would stay on the paved parts. Super! Even in the heart of winter a sandwich service, and possibility of dinner delivered to your camper. This is winter camping with a very sunny edge! 😁👌

    Een meer dan hartelijk ontvangst, en tevens hulp bij het inparkeren in hevige sneeuwval door de eigenaar zodat de camper op de verharde delen zou blijven. Super! Zelfs in hartje winter een broodjes service, en mogelijkheid tot diner wat bezorgt wordt aan je camper. Dit is winterkamperen met een heel zonnig randje! 😁👌

    When I read the reviews like this and the owner's answers to them, I wonder if there is any point in writing! There is an answer to everything...! Still, I want to write it off my chest.... I google fireworks-free camping and camping De Grienduil is in the top 20! But nothing could be further from the truth.... We book pay almost 500 euros for 3 nights in the Pipowagen. Upon arrival I meet a rather grumpy owner, but well he will not have his day.... It is announced that the car cannot be parked near the gypsy wagon so stuff has to be carried from car to gypsy wagon. "We are fireworks-free on this property but what the neighbors do is not our responsibility. Oy, that's a bit of a scare...our dog is really very scared...! And we are here to avoid fireworks! Pipowagen is really very dirty, filthy...( I read this in previous reviews by the way) Pans, cups, cutlery, senseo, remote control, shower etc...everything too dirty to touch...we could not cook...so dirty! Anyway, we are from Limburg so going home was not an option at that moment! We decide to stay and make the best of it...after all we are here to avoid the fireworks!!! At 11 pm the popping starts...and not just any popping...carbit!!! My daughter and I decide to go to the neighbors where the fireworks came from.... A bunch of young people were operating with this. They responded understandingly and stopped the fireworks. "Ma'am, if you came here to avoid fireworks, this is not the right place...tomorrow it will go off here!!!" The next morning around 7 am, the banging started again. Our dog was so scared, trembling, panting and we can't get her out of the Pipo wagon! Besides, the neighbors bordered even closer to the Pipowagen than the first next caravan. We decide to go home...this is not doable! We seek redress with owners but they were totally unwilling for any compensation...60 euro cleaning fee we got. Their response was...we are innocent...you have booked through Europacampings and they put on their site that we are fireworks free..and we are, only we cannot prevent the neighbors from setting off fireworks. "But sir, you have a responsibility to you guests, don't you?" "And what is posted on the internet about your campsite?" Sir denied everything and took no responsibility. Very sorry that these people did not understand us and that at least a portion could not be reimbursed!!! To accommodate us even a little bit! Contacted inspector Mr. Tolenaars of Europacamping.... Unfortunately the same story... "then you must be with the campsite owner". We did, but he refers us to you " we have 1000 sites so I do not know what you are talking about". " In any case I will read you review and do another inspection next year".... " but where will I be heard in this now"? " where can I ask for compensation"? Nowhere....!!! A very sad experience....so annoying! And Mr. of Camping, please spare me your reaction.... After all, you are innocent...right!

    Als ik zo de reviews lees en daarop de antwoorden van eigenaar, vraag ik me af of het zin heeft te schrijven! Overal is er wel een antwoord op...! Toch wil ik het van me af schrijven.. Ik google vuurwerkvrije camping en camping De Grienduil staat in de top 20! Maar niets is minder waar... We boeken betalen bijna 500 euro voor 3 nachten in de Pipowagen. Bij aankomst ontmoet ik een nogal chagrijnige eigenaar, maar goed zal zn dagje niet hebben.. Er wordt medegedeeld dat de auto niet bij de pipowagen kan staan dus spullen moeten gedragen worden van auto naar pipowagen. "Vuurwerkvrij zijn we wel op dit terrein maar wat de buren doen is onze verantwoordelijkheid niet" is de mededeling. Oei, dat is even schrikken...onze hond is echt heel bang...! en we zijn hier om vuurwerk te vermijden! Pipowagen is echt heel vies, smerig...( ik lees dit trouwens terug in eerdere reviews) Pannen, kopjes, bestek, senseo, afstandbediening, douche etc...alles te vies om aan te raken...koken konden we niet...zo smerig! maar goed, we komen uit Limburg dus naar huis was op dat moment geen optie! We besluiten te blijven en het beste ervan te maken...we zijn hier tenslotte voor het vuurwerk te vermijden!! Om 11uur savonds begint het knallen...en niet zomaar knallen...carbit!! Mijn dochter en ik besluiten om naar de buren te gaan waar het vuurwerk vandaan kwam.. Een stel jongeren waren hiermee actief. Ze reageerde begripvol en stopte het vuurwerk. "Mevr, als u hier bent gekomen om vuurwerk te vermijden, is dit niet de goede plek...morgen gaat het hier los"..! De volgende ochtend omstreeks 7 uur begon het knallen weer. Onze hond was zo bang, trilde, hijgde en we krijgen haar de Pipowagen niet uit! Trouwens de buren grensde nog dichter aan de Pipowagen dan de eerst volgende caravan. We besluiten om naar huis te gaan...dit is niet te doen! We halen verhaal bij eigenaars maar zij waren totaal niet bereid voor een tegemoetkoming...60 euro schoonmaakkosten kregen we. Hun reactie was...wij zijn onschuldig...jullie hebben geboekt via Europacampings en deze zetten op hun site dat wij vuurwerkvrij zijn..en dat zijn we ook, alleen kunnen wij niet voorkomen dat de buren vuurwerk afsteken. "Maar meneer, U heeft toch een verantwoordelijkheid naar u gasten?" "en wat er geplaatst wordt op internet over uw camping"? Meneer ontkende alles en nam geen verantwoordelijkheid. Zeer spijtig dat deze mensen ons niet begrepen en dat er niet op z'n minst een gedeelte kon worden vergoed!! Om ons ook maar een klein beetje tegemoet te komen! Contact opgenomen met inspecteur Dhr. Tolenaars van Europacamping... Helaas zelfde verhaal..."dan moet u bij de camping eigenaar zijn" Dat hebben wij gedaan, maar deze verwijst ons naar jullie " wij hebben 1000 sites dus ik weet niet waar u het over heeft". " Ik zal in ieder geval u review lezen en volgende jaar een nieuwe inspectie doen".. " maar waar word ik in deze nu gehoord"?? " waar kan ik een tegemoetkoming vragen"?? Nergens dus....!! Een zeer trieste ervaring....zo vervelend! En meneer van de Camping, bespaar me aub uw reactie... want jullie zijn immers onschuldig...toch?!

    Horrible campground! Booked because it was supposed to be fireworks free and our dog is terrified. Nothing could be further from the truth.... the bangs flew around your ears. In addition, the rented pipo wagon was too rancid for words! And then also everything! Mattresses damp, cutlery and pans too rancid to touch. Moldy shower, brown/black kit edges.... and so we can go on. Contacted the reception, unfortunately caught bone. Received 60 euro expenses! Ridiculous ... Finally left after 1 night instead of 3 nights. The stench, the unsanitary rooms, and then the fireworks from the area made it really untenable.

    Afschuwelijke camping! Geboekt omdat het vuurwerkvrij zou zijn en onze hond doodsbang is. Niets is minder waar... de knallen vlogen je om de oren. Daarnaast was de gehuurde pipo wagen te ranzig voor woorden! En dan ook alles! Matrasjes vochtig, bestek en pannen te ranzig om aan te raken. Beschimmelde douche, bruine/zwarte kitranden... en zo kunnen we nog wel even door gaan. Contact gelegd met de receptie, helaas bot gevangen. 60 euro onkosten gekregen! Belachelijk... Uiteindelijk na 1 nacht maar weg gegaan ipv 3 nachten. De stank, de onhygiënische ruimtes, en dan nog eens het vuurwerk uit de omgeving maakte het echt onhoudbaar.

    Obsługa na najwyższym poziomie, kontakt z właścicielami też super. Ceny jednak trochę z kosmosu jak na polskie zarobki. A lokalizacja cicha, ale mało ciekawych miejsc w pobliżu.
